Answer: it looks like I need it. Or at least I’ll test it. But first I should explain why I think it’s a good idea. Last few weeks I was revisiting some of the older experiments that worked well, to remind myself of their power. There are few things going on in my life which … Continue reading

Week 16: Intermittent fasting experiment
This post is long overdue, but it ended up being longer than I intended. Week 16 was dedicated to intermittent fasting, which is a regular practice for several Titans in the book – including expert on ketosis Dominic D’Agostino, doctor and self-experimenter Peter Attia and iceman Wim Hof. Intermittent fasting What is intermittent fasting? Why is so popular? … Continue reading
How keeping track of good things made me do more good things
Seth Godin recommends in Tools of Titans to keep track of good things – because what we track changes our perception. And this was what I was doing. Every day throughout the whole week I wrote down all the moments when I’ve done something better than usual, helped someone or was helped, stayed calm in … Continue reading
5 productivity hacks beyond the obvious (presentation for Life Hackers Singapore)

I still suck at small-talk, but I found a way how to enjoy meeting new people
[Experiment: Shay Carl – Creating the Care Bear Stare] I had a great “lunch” last Monday. It’s “lunch” in parenthesis because Monday is my fasting day, so I only had (decaf) bulletproof coffee.

He is the Yoda of that industry. He founded a few very successful companies, including one of the first digital marketing agencies. He wrote … Continue reading
Week 12 – Shay Carl and Creating the “Care Bear Stare”
Shay Carl is one of the people I’ve never heard of prior to his appearance in Tim’s podcast. He is part of the world that I know nothing of – YouTube celebrities. Of course I use YouTube – but it’s to watch videos about specific topics like movie reviews, correct way to exercise, Rhonda Patrick’s … Continue reading
Fear-setting experiment: We are afraid of taking action, but what we should really fear is staying in the same place
I’ve done a lot of weird stuff over last few weeks as part of my Titan Experiment journey. I was hashtagging my emotions to learn how to manage them. I learned how to be happier in 10 seconds. I experienced what it would feel like if I would suddenly earn fraction of what I earn … Continue reading
Fear-Setting exercise (Week 10 experiment)
Easy choices – hard life. Hard choices – easy life. (Jerzy Gregorek) My experiment for this week is based on Tim’s new TED talk, released just a few days ago. It is very personal (suicide is as personal topic as it gets), but at the same time very actionable. He talks about why we should … Continue reading
